Sir Edward George Warris Hulton

In 1937 he founded the English press group “Hulton press” which included Leader Magazine, Eagle, Girl, Lilliput and the Picture Post. The latter is a magazine which prints 1,700,000 copies each week, reaching 1,950,000 copies in 1943. Considered the pioneer of photojournalism, the Picture Post is compared to another major American magazine, Life.

The large number of photographs, published or not, becomes a very important historical documentary resource. Sir Edward Hulton sold this collection of photos to the BBC in 1957, which was then bought by the American agency Getty Images.

Hulton was married twice, first to Kira Goudime-Levkovitsch in 1927, and then later in 1946 to Princess Nika Yourievitch. Together Yourievitch and Hulton had two sons and one daughter, named Edward Alexander Sergius Hulton, Cosmo Philip Paul Hulton and Elizabeth Frances Helen Hulton.The marriage between Yourievitch and Hulton was dissolved in 1966, though the two lived together again for the last nine years of Hulton's life before he died.

He is buried with his second wife and his father-in-law.
